Rangers

The Rangers embody the spirit of Outcast warriors, having forsaken the structured lives of the craftworlds. Masters of stealth warfare, marksmanship, and tracking, these skilled scouts support their brethren as invaluable snipers.

With a choice of 11 heads, including helmeted, helmeted with hoods up, male, and female options, you can further customize the appearance of the unit. Additionally, the kit includes a shrine dedicated to Kurnous the Hunter, an honored Aeldari deity revered by the Rangers.

How to paint the Rangers set

1. Step 1: Prime the Miniatures
   Apply a thin and even coat of primer to the Aeldari Rangers. Use Chaos Black Spray to provide a solid base for the paint and improve adhesion.
2. Step 2: Basecoat the Armor
   Start by applying a basecoat of red paint to the armor areas of the miniatures. For example, you can use Mephiston Red. Apply multiple thin coats for smooth and even coverage.
3. Step 3: Basecoat the Cloaks
   Next, apply a basecoat of dark green paint to the cloak areas of the Rangers. Caliban Green is a good option for this. Apply multiple thin coats for smooth and even coverage.
4. Step 4: Shade the Armor
   To add depth and definition to the red armor, apply a shade like Carroburg Crimson or Agrax Earthshade. Brush the shade into the recessed areas and crevices of the armor. Use a smaller brush for more controlled application. Let the shade dry completely.
5. Step 5: Highlight the Armor
   Using a lighter shade of red, highlight the raised areas of the armor. For example, you can mix a little Wild Rider Red or Evil Sunz Scarlet with the base red color and apply it to the edges and contours of the armor. Focus on creating thin, controlled lines for a crisp and defined look.
6. Step 6: Shade the Cloaks
   To add depth and shadow to the dark green cloaks, apply a shade like Nuln Oil or Biel-Tan Green. Brush the shade into the recessed areas of the cloaks, emphasizing the folds and creases. Use a smaller brush for more controlled application. Let the shade dry completely.
7. Step 7: Highlight the Cloaks
   Using a lighter shade of green, highlight the raised areas of the cloaks. For example, you can mix a little Warpstone Glow with the base green color and apply it to the edges and raised surfaces of the cloaks. Focus on creating thin, controlled lines for a sense of texture and depth.
8. Step 8: Paint the Details
   Pay attention to painting the additional details, such as the face, weapon hilts, and gems. Use appropriate colors, like Bugman’s Glow for flesh tones or colors like White Scar for the helmets. Take your time and use a small brush for precision.
9. Step 9: Paint the Weapon
   Focus on painting the weapons of the Rangers. For example, use metallic colors like Leadbelcher for metallic parts or Jokaero Orange for the energy coils of a shuriken pistol. Apply thin layers and use a small brush for detailed work.
10. Step 10: Base and Basing
    Finish off the miniatures by painting the bases. Use suitable colors and textures, such as Stirland Mud for earthy bases or Astrogranite Debris for a rocky appearance. Add additional details like grass tufts or small rocks to enhance the base.
11. Step 11: Varnish the Miniatures
    To protect your paint job and add a professional finish, apply a thin and even coat of varnish over the painted Aeldari Rangers. Ensure the miniatures are completely dry before applying the varnish.
